Finland's President said on Sunday he doesn't remember telling Trump they rake leaves from their forests to prevent fires, a day after Trump said Finland has no problems due to "raking and cleaning."

The day before, the US president said: "I was with the President of Finland — he called it a forest nation — and they spent a lot of time on raking and cleaning and doing things and they don't have any problem," as CNN noted.

"You gotta take care of the floors. You know the floors of the forest, very important. You look at other countries where they do it differently and it's a whole different story," Trump added.

President Sauli Niinistö said he spoke about forest fires with Trump in Paris on the weekend of November 9, according to Finnish newspaper Ilta-Sanomat, but he doesn't remember using "Trump's English- style word," the paper reported.
